I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said. “Excuse me too——I wasn’t 21 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 22 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 23 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 24 our meal, my daughter walked up to me , very still. When I turned, I 25 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown. She stepped away silently, with her little heart 26 . I didn’t realize how harshly I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 27 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While 28 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite—Go look around on the kitchen floor, you will find some flowers there by the 29 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 30 them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 31 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 32 , “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 33 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 34 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today—and I 35 have fussed(发牢骚)at you that way.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 37 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 38 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 39 than into our families—an unwise investment indeed.
Remember that 40 =(F)ATHER—(A)NO—(M)OTHER—(I)—(L)OVE—Y(OU).
